Got the Acer Chromebook with (4) gigs of RAM-what it does it does great. Looks like a mini-laptop but it isn't. My old laptop is a (7) yr old Dell with only (1) gig of RAM so this seems like a race horse. Without Wi-Fi it is basically a paperweight-but when it is connected it rolls. Got this instead of a tablet because of the connections-(3) USB ports-HDMI-and this model has a replaceable battery-speaking of that it has a (6) hr battery life. Can also use a wireless mouse-not a big fan of touch screens or Windows 8. Added a USB drive (32) gig so plenty of memory for these vacations. Plus it was $200 cheaper than a Ipad-got it for $275.
